LITTLE ROCK (AP) — U.S. Postal officials in Arkansas say the state's post offices will be open on both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve — but hours may vary.

Spokeswoman Leisa Tolliver-Gay says all post offices will be open both Dec. 24 and Dec. 31. She says some will close their lobby at noon and that the hours of operation will be posted at each post office.

Tolliver-Gay says the post offices will be closed both Christmas Day and New Year's Day. She says the offices will be open during normal business hours on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.
